Liya Kebede

an Ethiopian born super model, actress and business women speaks about her hair in an interview at intothegloss.com saying, “one thing that they do there [Ethiopia] is they put butter in your hair—real butter. It’s different than butter here [United States] because it’s not processed; you make the butter yourself at home, or you buy it, but it’s so organic, and there’s nothing in it. They do it like a treatment, in salons—it’s incredible! Every time I go there, I do it. It really fortifies your hair and makes it really healthy.”

Testimonials

I was so excited to find your product! Thank you for making it available in the sates. The habesha kibe is so creamy and moisturizing. My scalp isn’t flaky or dry anymore instead it continues to feel truly healthy and rejuvenated. I can tell this its authentic.
Thanks so much.

After leaving my braids in for to long my hair was dry and brittle and in desperate need of moisture. I tried a number of products but my hair wouldn’t retain any of it. I wanted to try something natural and organic so I tried out the Habesha Kibe and my hair bounced back! Its full of life and it’s in the best state.
Thank you!!!!
